SITUATION IN ACEH

Motion Text

That this House is alarmed at reports of new troop deployment in Aceh by Indonesian forces; understands from published reports that over 2,500 troops supported by aircraft, tanks and amphibians are preparing for a new round of action; requests that the Foreign Secretary make immediate representations to the Indonesian Government to halt the military action, re-state the peace process and allow international observers to visit Aceh; and is further concerned that, despite previous assurances, UK military equipment is being prepared for use in these intended military operations by the Indonesian Government.
